The information can be used to specify job expectations, establish quality standards, develop training programs, document work processes, and anticipate safety risks, among many other uses.  This book is a practical guide to using the work analysis process for improving performance in the workplace, particularly with the emergence of knowledge work.  Work has undergone much change, and the trend is towards increased complexity, demanding employees to use their cognitive abilities to a greater extent.  Work analysis has often been criticized for its historical focus on documenting simple, observable, and routine behaviors performed by individuals involved in low-skilled production work.  But it doesn’t have to be so, as readers will discover.  Indeed, the demands of organizations and societies in the digital age has placed greater emphasis on documenting the changing nature of work.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis practical book addresses the questions of how does one perform a work analysis?  How can complex work be documented?  How can the information be used by organizations, technical schools, and government agencies?
